  IMYM is pleased to offer a Quakerism 101 program available to all monthly meetings & worship groups associated with IMYM.

  The goal is to provide an introductory curriculum that is foundational and accessible for new attenders and members. 

  We will cover general Quaker practice, spiritual development, and history. The format will be low on lecture time and will emphasize discussion supplemented with good readings. 

  ZOOM in on Tuesday nights for 6 weeks (with breaks) from 7:00 - 8:00 PM MDT

  Register to receive the link, course content, and event reminders.

  Registration is limited to 40 individuals. 

  For assistance or questions please email: Quaker101@imym.org

  We hope that each Monthly Meeting will support this effort by providing some additional local times (e.g. once a month) to discuss more deeply how the content applies to local practice.

  This is an experiment and we hope to improve over time.
  We are eager for others to join us to help with instruction.
